How difficult it is to take refuge from pain
When you die every night of heartbreak
How difficult it is to draw absences from you
Dreaming of the shadows of that happy time
How difficult it is to escape my loneliness
And to so many illusions that will not return
Only traces of yesterday, only traces of a love
Seeing you so far away and cold my soul dies
I don't have time to forget
I have plenty of life to cry
And there will be no greater pain
not to see you again
I lack strength to wait
To try I have plenty of faith
And it slips out of my hands
The woman that I love so much
To return I have plenty of desire
To accept I lack the soul
And escapes into the shadows
who gave me his light
I have so much left to give you
My heart, my youth
But despite what I have
I need you to live
How difficult it is to accept that you will no longer be
And I remain in the desert of my solitude
Only traces of yesterday, only traces of a love
Seeing you so far away and cold my soul dies
I don't have time to forget
I have plenty of life to cry
And there will be no greater pain
not to see you again
I lack strength to wait
To try I have plenty of faith
And it slips out of my hands
The woman that I love so much
To return I have plenty of desire
To accept I lack the soul
And escapes into the shadows
who gave me his light
I have so much left to give you
My heart, my youth
But despite what I have
I need you to live

desamorlack of love / heartbreak

Desamor is a powerful and evocative word that literally means 'lack of love' or 'unlove'. It's more profound than just 'heartbreak' because it implies a complete absence or loss of affection.

In the song, Alejandro Fernández sings, "Cuando se muere cada noche de desamor" (When one dies every night from a lack of love). This word perfectly captures the deep emotional pain and emptiness described in the lyrics, making it a compelling choice to entice learners.

Alejandro Fernández's "Para Vivir" is a powerful song about the struggle of moving on after a painful breakup. He sings about how "Que difícil es refugiarse del dolor" [How difficult it is to take refuge from pain] and how he's "muriendo cada noche de desamor" [dying every night from heartbreak]. It's a feeling many of us can relate to, that deep ache when you're trying to escape the sadness but it just keeps finding you.

He really lays out the impossible situation he's in: "Para olvidar me falta tiempo / Para llorar me sobra vida" [To forget, I lack time / To cry, I have too much life]. It's like he's stuck in this limbo, unable to forget but with endless tears to shed. And the line that really hits hard is "Para vivir me faltas tú" [To live, I'm missing you]. It perfectly sums up that feeling of emptiness when someone you loved so much is no longer there, and even with everything else, life just feels incomplete without them.
